Download and Installation
Citavi license
The TUHH is financing the continued use of Citavi and is extending the license for a further three years from April 2025.
From April 2025, TUHH members will be able to use both Citavi 6 and Citavi 7 as part of the campus license. Citavi Web will also be available. Since Citavi 7 has not yet been extensively tested over a longer period of time, we recommend continuing to use Citavi 6, especially for projects that have already begun.
Note on cloud usage of Citavi
If you use Citavi in the cloud, remember to regularly save your projects to a local computer for security.
